Those are really good natural tips. I am currently using some whitening products and I’m seeing the effects now. My skin has been damaged from years and years of shaving. Aside from my whitening product, I also switched to waxing – a DIY waxing. It totally saved and saves me time and money.

one can always use skin lightening products to help lighten dark underarms but of course one should be wary of the ingredients. i’d recommend Metaderm, made up of natural ingredients and works on all skin types.

hi friends!!!
i have been suffering from this dark armpit problem. I use to think that my armpits are the darkest armpit in the world. then i went to the skin doctor. he said that i hav fungal infection. so he gave me “lulifin cream” to apply on my armpits. then after few months my problem was completely gone.
i have used all the treatments to get rid of my problem. i tried skin peeling.but after the skin peeled off.then again the new skin was dark.
i have used “melalite forte cream” it is also effective if ur fungal infection is cured by “lulifin cream”.
home made remedies dosent work too much.i hav tried all of them.
so my suggestion to you is :- apply “lulifin cream” in night. apply “onabet cream” in day. use both the cream for 3 months.
after that if ur fungal infection is cured then u can use “melelite forte” cream in night(caution: never use melalite forte cream in day time.otherwise it will increase ur darkness in armpit.)
you can find all the creams in any chemist shop.
dear friends!!1 i know how embarassing it feels when u hav dark armpit.but dont worry.this problem is curable.
n the best suggestion is that if you know any good skin doctors then consult them.
dont worry!!its not that big problem.
